Answer: Improper fraction

Explanation: It is an improper fraction because In positive common fractions, the numerator and denominator are natural numbers. The numerator represents a number of equal parts, and the denominator indicates how many of those parts make up a unit or a whole. The denominator cannot be zero, because zero parts can never make up a whole. For example, in the fraction 3/4, the numerator 3 indicates that the fraction represents 3 equal parts, and the denominator 4 indicates that 4 parts make up a whole. The picture to the right illustrates 3/4 of a cake. Improper fraction is a fraction where the numerator (the top number) is greater than or equal to the denominator (the bottom number)

In this problem we have 14/6 The numerator is 14 The denominator is 6
